Leis sin ráite, tá muid chun sos a ghlacadh ar feadh 40 nóiméad. You might have noticed we are a bit over time.

I am grateful to the Minister of State for being here to deal with this important issue. I acknowledge Deputy Durkan, who has managed to make the debate on Castletown an almost weekly event in the House.

If we were to express some regret, it is that progress has been slow on the part of the OPW. I do not know if the OPW knows exactly who it is dealing with when it is dealing with Deputy Durkan because in his long and distinguished career in this House, by God, he has shown a persistence like no other. We assume he will be pursuing the same matter in the next Dáil if it continues to be a problem, and we hope it does not.

Táimid tagtha chun deiridh le clár oibre an lae inniu, clár oibre na seachtaine agus deiridh na hoibre don Tríú Dáil is Tríocha. Arís, gabhaim buíochas le gach ball den fhoireann as ucht na cabhrach a thug siad dúinn le blianta beaga anuas. Tréaslaím leo an sárobair a dhéanann siad. Go n-éirí go geal le gach ball, iad siúd atá ag éirí as agus iad siúd atá ag dul ar aghaidh arís ag iarraidh teacht thar n-ais go dtí an an Ceathrú Dáil is Tríocha. Leis sin, tá an Dáil ar athló sine die . Go raibh míle maith agaibh.

I thank Deputy McDonald.

Please Deputies. We move to Deputy Holly Cairns, leader of the Social Democrats.

I thank the Deputy.

I thank the Deputy.

Please, Deputy Cairns.

Thank you, Taoiseach.

Please let the Taoiseach answer.

We all join the Deputy in that.

Hear, hear.

I thank the Taoiseach. I just want to refer to something. The case raised by Deputy Conway-Walsh is obviously utterly heartbreaking. In the past year or so, we have had an increasing number of very personally tragic cases being brought to the attention of the House. I think the next Dáil will need to find a way in which submissions can be made on these, rather than them being discussed. I see the necessity-----

We need an effective way-----

-----for people to raise these concerns at the highest possible level without them being aired here in the House.

We cannot expect the Taoiseach or the Minister to be clinicians, to make decisions or whatever. If we had a way of communicating these matters, it would be good.

I remind Members that there are two separate motions being debated in the slot, namely, the motion regarding the proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Treaty of Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters between Ireland and the UAE, and the motion regarding the proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Treaty on Extradition between Ireland and the UAE. These motions will be moved together by the Minister and decided by separate questions, but we will debate them together. I call on the Minister to move the motio…
